Conan: When Shinjiu and Maolilan swap bodies

Kogoro Mouri didn't force his daughter to go.

"You're going with just me and this kid. It's a bit far, and if all goes well, we won't be back until the day after tomorrow..."

Ran Mouri was overjoyed.

Does that mean she'll have a whole day tomorrow?

Chapter 43 Don't you want to like Shinichi anymore?

Since Ran wasn't going, Conan immediately gave up the idea of ​​going as well.

"Uncle, you go by yourself. I want to go out and play with Sister Xiaolan tomorrow."

He's been busy investigating the organization lately and feels like he's neglecting Xiaolan. Xiaolan has also been busy lately, and they're almost losing touch.

There's no news from there right now, so it's definitely a good time to go out and relax together.

Kogoro Mouri scoffed, "You little brat, you change your tune so quickly. You were just saying you wanted to come with me to Nagano Prefecture."

"I want to stay with Ran-neechan," Conan pleaded.

Ran Mouri wasn't very happy to learn that Conan would be coming with her the next day.

She was just planning what to do tomorrow when Conan suddenly appeared, which meant that most of her plans would have to be scrapped.

"Conan, you go to Nagano with Dad. I have an acting class tomorrow morning and I'm meeting Sonoko in the afternoon, so I don't have time to play with you."

"You don't need Sister Xiaolan to come with me, I'll just stay with you and promise I won't bother you! Okay? Okay!"

Conan clasped his hands together and tried to widen his eyes to make himself look cute.

Ran Mouri succumbed to Conan's cuteness overload, "Okay..."

The next day, after having breakfast, Kogoro Mouri went to Nagano Prefecture to accept a commission, while Ran Mouri went to her acting class, followed by a tail.

Conan has always been interested in Ran's acting class, and only now has he found the opportunity to come and watch.

Judging from the environment, this training is quite normal. In addition to performance, it also offers dance, voice acting, and music training, making it a relatively large and comprehensive training institution.

Ran Mouri enrolled in the beginner class, which had only ten students. Each student progressed at a different pace, and the teacher provided one-on-one guidance.

When Ran Mouri arrived, the pretty female teacher greeted her, glanced at the tail following behind her, and didn't pay any attention to it.

"Mouri, you are very talented and you are progressing very quickly. Here is the script. Today, try to act out the scene where the female lead breaks up with the male lead."

Ran Mouri took the script and read it from beginning to end, starting to analyze the female lead's personality, character setting, and behavioral logic in order to better portray her.

Ran Mouri possesses a unique charm that makes her exceptionally likable, but she is completely unaware of it.

When she is seriously immersed in something, her charm unconsciously radiates out, making it impossible for anyone to look away.

Conan stared intently at Ran, completely mesmerized.

But he noticed that, besides himself, there was another gaze fixed on Xiaolan.

He turned around warily and saw a young man who looked to be in his early twenties.

This man is probably also a student in this acting class, and judging from his appearance, he seems to be planning to develop a career in the entertainment industry.

The other person was staring at Ran without blinking, which made Conan extremely annoyed.

He ran up to the other person in two steps and grabbed the hem of his clothes.

"Brother, why are you staring at my sister?"

He deliberately spoke loudly to attract the attention of everyone else in the classroom.

The young man was immediately embarrassed, his face burning red, and he was flustered and had no idea how to explain himself.

When Xiaolan looked over, his face turned even redder, and he wished he could disappear into the ground.

Ran was a little embarrassed, so she quickly pulled Conan away and apologized to him.

"I'm sorry. The child is being naughty, please don't mind him, sir."

Seeing that Ran Mouri not only didn't blame him but also apologized, the young man's goodwill towards her increased rapidly. He made up his mind and directly stated his attitude.

"I should be the one apologizing. Miss Mori is so outstanding that I didn't pay attention to her for a moment and was mesmerized."

Conan's internal alarm bells are ringing!

What's wrong with you?! You want to take Xiaolan away from him? No way!

He took two steps to stand in front of Xiaolan, glaring at her angrily.

"Sister Xiaolan has a boyfriend! Don't even dream about it!"

Ran Mouri was even more embarrassed.

The young man looked disappointed and asked Ran Mouri for confirmation. Ran Mouri nodded stiffly.

At this time, she couldn't embarrass Conan; she was only there to learn and didn't want to deal with a sudden suitor.

The young man visibly slumped down, "I'm sorry..."

Ran Mouri pulled Conan aside and looked at him seriously. "Conan, you can't do that next time. I'm here to learn. That gentleman was just looking at me. You're making me very embarrassed."

The gentleman may have had some feelings for her because of her appearance, but he didn't say anything, so she should just pretend she didn't know.

Conan's actions forced him to admit his feelings in public. What was he supposed to do?

She'll be coming back to study again, and we'll see each other all the time. How will she handle that? How awkward will that be?

"But..." Conan still wanted to argue.

He wouldn't allow anyone to take Xiaolan away from him; she was his treasure, and no one could take her away!

Even coveting it is unacceptable!

Ran Mouri ignored what he was about to say and interrupted him directly.

"No buts! And this is a one-time exception, Conan."

After two classes, Ran Mouri took Conan away. Seeing that Conan was still sullen, Ran Mouri sighed.

"Conan, I know you're Shinichi's mouthpiece and his informant, but Shinichi and I aren't boyfriend and girlfriend. What you're saying is really bothering me."

Conan looked up at Ran, his eyes filled with sorrow.

"Don't you like Shinichi-nii anymore?"

Ran Mouri remained silent and did not answer.

Do you like it? There's more, I think.

Although I say I'll let go, it's not that quick.

She just sighed softly, "I haven't seen Shinichi in a long time."

When was the last time I saw him?

Three months ago or six months ago?

Her perception of time seemed to be impaired; she couldn't recall exactly how much time had passed.

He always appears suddenly, and disappears in a hurry after saying only a few words.

Conan lowered his head, his fingernails digging into his palms.

He desperately wanted to tell Ran that he was Shinichi and had always been by her side, but he couldn't.

His identity is far too dangerous; he can't drag her into danger as well.

She was his hope, his motivation, and the person he absolutely did not want to have any problems.

So, Xiaolan, can you wait for him a little longer?

When he can appear before you openly and legitimately as Shinichi Kudo.

"Shinichi will definitely be back as soon as possible!" Conan suddenly thought of something, as if he had grasped a lifeline. "School trip! Right, Shinichi mentioned to me that he would be going on a school trip! He said he wanted to give you a surprise."

"A school trip."

Ran Mouri calculated the time; it seemed like there was still about a month left.

She looked at Conan, shook her head gently, and smiled. "Actually, it's okay if he doesn't come back. I hope Shinichi is safe and sound."

What she wanted wasn't some newcomer appearing...

She just wanted that person to tell her the whole truth in person.

She took the lead and walked forward. A gentle breeze ruffled the girl's hair. She looked up at the azure sky and slowly exhaled a breath of pent-up frustration.

Chapter 44 is about an unseen, mysterious attention on a love rival.

Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki arranged to meet at a restaurant for lunch.

As soon as Ran appeared, Sonoko waved her hand.

"Xiaolan, over here!"

Xiao Lan ran over quickly, and the two girls started playing around.

"After dinner, let's go see a movie first, then go to the convenience store. Lots of interesting freebies are in the new magazines lately..."

The aroma of curry rice was very appetizing, and the two girls chatted as they ate.

School life, exam questions, entertainment gossip, people and events happening around us... there's always so much to talk about.

Conan sat beside them, listening to them chat about all sorts of things that had nothing to do with him, and the more he listened, the more depressed he became.

Although he was by Xiaolan's side, Xiaolan's life was never limited to the time after she got home from school.

They talked about the names of new teachers he had never heard of, about who confessed their love to whom at school, and who got rejected—things that used to be around him but which he, now a primary school student, could no longer experience.

It was an indescribable sense of loss, a feeling of powerlessness that his original life had been completely severed from him, and that he could do nothing about it.

It was alright before, but after realizing that Xiaolan's attitude towards him had changed, this feeling became increasingly unbearable.

He really couldn't accept Xiaolan leaving his world.

"Sonoko, I want to get a motorcycle license."

"Huh? Why do you suddenly want to get a motorcycle license?"

"There's a TV series out recently, and the female motorcyclist in it is really cool." Ran Mouri showed her the video she had specifically found.

"Wow, that's so cool!" Sonoko's eyes lit up.

Even though you don't know who's playing the role while wearing a helmet, it's a cool feeling.

"You've really sparked my desire to learn how to ride a motorcycle!"

"Then let's learn together." Xiaolan still really enjoys trying new things with Yuanzi.

Yuanzi nodded repeatedly, then began to plan, "We'll go shopping later and buy two books on traffic regulations. The driving school is right here in our neighborhood, with a huge training ground where we can practice all we want... We can even try driving a car... The more you talk about it, the more excited I get!"

Sonoko became more and more excited as she talked, already imagining the scene of them going out for fun on motorcycles together.

"Let's go for a drive on the beach together after we get our driver's licenses! Wow! That sounds awesome!"

Xiao Lan also pictured the scene of them going for a drive on the beach together, and a longing appeared in her faint smile.

Conan absentmindedly poked at the rice in his bowl with his spoon, as if venting his anger.

Hmph, what's so great about riding a motorcycle? He has a skateboard, which is just as fast as a motorcycle under the sun.
